William Penn

Men are generally more careful of the breed of their horses and dogs than of their children.

Patience and Diligence, like faith, remove mountains.

Much reading is an oppression of the mind, and extinguishes the natural candle, which is the reason of so many senseless scholars in the world.

Humility and knowledge in poor clothes excel pride and ignorance in costly attire.

Knowledge is the treasure of a wise man.

Time is what we want most, but what we use worst.

For death is no more than a turning of us over from time to eternity.

Kings in this world should imitate God, their mercy should be above their works.
